Cosumnes River Preserve

If you are a bird watcher, then this is the place for you. There are many types of birds this season. Some trails are closed due to flooding. It is a great place for meditation, picnics, hiking, and chilling. They have a lot of wooden chairs for you to take a rest and enjoy nature away from the noise of the city and distracted from your cell phone. They have a clean restroom and a lot of parking spots next to the trails.

Such a serene and peaceful place. Birds galore. I'm not a birder so not sure types but I did see a few Cranes. Trails are great. Can get muddy in the winter. There are some boardwalks to keep you out of the wet. Great place for photography. There are restrooms and plenty of parking. The information station has great volunteers personing the desk, very knowledgeable. Will be going back.

What a beautiful, peaceful preserve! The walkways are super nice too and there are plenty of benches scattered around the park if you want to sit and bask in nature. I found it to be relaxing and loved seeing all of the birds.
